I successfully made eggs benedict! Including homemade hollandaise!

I used the foolproof hollandaise recipe from Serious Eats (https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/04/foolproof-2-minute-hollandaise-recipe.html).). Unfortunately it's more like "fool-resistant" than foolproof. When I tried it last week, the sauce never came together and I had to throw it out. This week I tweaked the recipe and got it to work. I used a whole egg instead of egg yolk + water and made sure the butter was >190 degrees F before pouring it in.

I have actually had more problems with the ‘foolproof’ method than the traditional, or semi traditional one. Takes me like five minutes max to make one in a saucepan

I don't wanna burst your bubble anon, but your sauce doesn't look like it has thickened properly.
The consistency looks quite thin, you can see how its running off onto the plate rather than clinging to the dish and properly coating it. Compare it with the reference photo from SE, the differences should be obvious.
Don't be afraid to try different techniques out, as >>11855827 said, if the original method works better for you there's no need to "fix" it.

What the fuck? Use egg yolk and vinegar or lemon juice. Also use a double boiler or two pots to thicken it up.

Good first attempt, next time get the sauce thicker and replace that pig flap with some proper corned beef and a side of hash.

>foolproof hollandaise
Traditional hollandaise should already be foolproof. It's a super simple recipe that any cook should be able to whip up from memory in 5 mins or less from the second the water boils. I like 6 yolks to a pound of butter, lemon juice and paprika to taste.
But no recipe is retard proof OP

Don’t even need to boil water, ON THE HEAT OFF THE HEAT with yolks and lemon in a saucepan before whisking in cold butter does just fine

OP, just use the blender method:

>put ingredients in blender
>slowly pour hot melted butter in while pulsing
>wa la

don't let any nigger here tell you "muh real hollandaise, muh double boiler". blender is easier, more consistent, with less cleanup. also you fucked up your poach on the top egg, is that just the yolk there?
